Bill of Rights Birthday Rally

December 15, 2011, marks the 220th birthday of the Bill of Rights and the ACLU of Oregon is celebrating! Please join us for a gathering at Terry Schrunk Plaza to exercise our rights.

"[A] bill of rights is what the people are entitled to against every government on earth, general or particular, and what no just government should refuse."
--Thomas Jefferson

The ACLU is our nation's guardian of liberty, working daily in courts, legislatures and communities to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties that the Bill of Rights guarantee everyone in this country. But these guarantees need to be defended. If the rights of society's most vulnerable members are denied, everybody's rights are imperiled.
